Who's That Stuffsmith?

And unless you stumbled into this store trying to find information on 1950's jazz drum legend Stuff Smith, you probably know that I'm an artist guy who likes his objects found. I've been finding, and making stuff from, those objects for twenty-five years now. And I kinda got tired of trying to explain to folks that I'm not the jeweler to reset the diamond in your wedding ring, so I came up with 'Stuffsmith' as a succinct career category, and it really stuck.

When I started on this crazy path I was an American living in Connecticut. Now I'm still an American - and an Aussie - with a big lovely Australian family, living down unda. And the objects keep getting found.

So now about you. It's probable you're here because you want to browse through my online store so
you can spend some money and get something you like. I'm not going to
talk you out of it - your purchase helps me continue to go to sleep each
night excited about the creative possibilities the next day will bring.
I know I've got to be the luckiest fella alive.

If, however, you'd like some real background on the bells & whistles I've developed over all these years, you might want to visit my website - which is a very big and labyrinthine shrine to all things pertaining to my work and career. If I had to compress my CV down to a sentence, it would go like this: "Keith has explored mixed-media artwork for a quarter-century, stockpiled some work in very fancy museums and important collections, and fills the gaps between making with teaching art to others around the world." That's about right.

Or maybe you'd like a window into my working methods. In that case you would probably do okay to check out my blog- which chronicles my new work in progress, step-by-painstaking-step. It's gone quiet in recent months, but only because I'm working on some top-secret things that will see the sunshine soon.

So thanks for coming by. If you need me, click the 'Contact' button on the left over there and tell me about it.
